Comparing Two Texts

One of the 2nd grade's CCGPS ELA skills is to compare two similar texts.  I read two fiction picture books: The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle and Waiting for Wings by Lois Ehlert.  Both books are about the life cycle of a butterfly, which is what the 2nd grade students are studying in their IB/PYP unit of inquiry, "How We Express Ourselves: Enjoying Nature."  After reading the 2 books the students created a Venn diagram comparing and contrasting the two books.
